We have no idea if we have been looking at him for a while or not. Mendy was awesome in Norway second division . So far did little . I'm not wanting to be negative at all as we need a striker and McCann has went and got one. Like you said we don't have a clue , but why are people looking stupid ? Nothing has changed. I hope he replaces Moussa however . Then if he starts scoring the people who still back Moussa may look stupid? To call other Dundee fans stupid for panicking because we are shite upfront I find absurd. However I hope the new man starts on Saturday and bangs in a hatrick. to clarify, the people who have called for McCanns head - again not necessarily on here but on other forums - because he hadn't signed a striker and was waiting "until we were out of the cup and had no points after 6 games" look a bit stupid, IMO. The over reaction after the Aberdeen game was ridiculous. Based on the interview posted above - which seemingly took place after a game 2 weeks ago - it would seem we've been doing work on this one for a while and it's finally over the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Hopefully Moussa will be dropped and no one will ever again suggest he is a footballer and worthy of wearing the dark blue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The most important thing about this signing is that Benji and Mendy are ideal rhyming couplets for any Derry lyricists to be working on. Also, Elton Ngwatala, Kamara and Kharl Madianga scan perfectly into the first two lines of Barry Manilow's Copacabana. McCann is to be applauded on his recruitment policy of considering potential songs before signing up any targets. Kiitos. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 That movement on his third goal in that interview is utter class. I honestly wouldn’t expect any of our current strikers to make that front post run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again most countries in the world can speak other languages fluently bar the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most kids come through their school systems with almost perfect English. Takes away any risk of Language barrier. I'd actually hazard a guess the he possibly speaks a bit of French too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbellaDEE Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The fact that he can finish chances 2 yards out from goal means he will be a tenfold improvement on Moussa before he even starts. It’s been a long slog coming on here every day waiting on a signing and I must admit I was one of those who thought nobody was coming in but I’m delighted today and feeling a lot more optimistic already. Hoping the lad can hit the ground running, welcome to the only team in Dundee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably doesn't help that the interviewers aren't paying attention to what he is saying, and also that they are saying things that are factually incorrect. The woman interviewing asks him if he's met his teammates about 2 minutes after he told them that he had a training session with the team earlier in the day. Then she says will he be in the team facing Queen of the South, Wtf? Then the guy interviewer is talking about the 'Betfred' Cup, how is the Finnish Wolf supposed to know what a Betfred is?

Crawford Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Absolutely buzzing but one injury and we are back to square one. Get him some reinforced undies and don't play him against hearts and we should be fine. Spiffing good signing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Aye, this is the type of signing that Hibs and Motherwell seem to pull out of the bag and leave me wondering what our scouting is playing at. Lad looks good in the videos, a lot sharper and incisive than anyone we currently have on the books. Hopefully he does the business because he's still very young and potentially a lucrative sell on for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbycoxblue Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 With my extensive knowledge of all things Finnish, I think this lad is puddin. He'll fit in well beside the big Moose.Better than you fit in here you stalking mess . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
